4.14 Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA)
The HMS CS has, in connection with the Mobil-O-Graph
®
, in addition to the classic 24h blood pressure
measurement also an integrated system for the pulse wave analysis (PWA). This function can be activated using
a USB license dongle. The License dongle can be purchased at I.E.M. GmbH or your retailer.
Additionally, a Mobil-O-Graph
®
with integrated 24h-PWA is offered. This enhanced Mobil-O-Graph
®
provides
a bigger memory and an integrated, unlimited license. This allows, for the first time, to record the history of a
pulse wave parameter for 24 hours
The pulse wave analysis is based on the notion that the arterial blood pressure curve contains hemodynamic
information that exceeds peripherally measured blood pressure. This is used to analyse all information regar-
ding the central aortic pulse wave.
The following values are displayed:
■
Central blood pressure
■
Central pulse pressure
■
Augmentation pressure
■
Augmentation index
■
Alx@75 [90% confidence interval]
■
Cardiac Output [CO]
■
Peripheral resistance
■
Reflection co-efficient
■
Pulse Wave Velocity [PWV]
4.14.1 Installation of the PWA at the doctor’s practice
The PWA functionality is available for the Mobil-O-Graph
®
with the serial number 6000 upwards in connection
with the HMS CS Version 2.0 and higher.
If you want to do pulse wave analyses you will need a USB dongle license. This dongle is simply plugged into
a free USB port on your PC. If all USB ports on your PC are taken, you can purchase a USB Hub for the USB
port extension at I.E.M GmbH or at your retailer. When you start a PWA measurement afterwards, the dongle
is recognized and the measurement is authorized.
